This $315,225 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) with a period of performance from November 1, 2023 to October 31, 2026.

The grant supports a collaborative research project involving Dartmouth College, the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), and SRI to develop a new data infrastructure for sharing and archiving heterogeneously-derived data products from the Swarm-Over-Poker 2023 auroral observational campaign. The project will create new data products by integrating data from multiple sources, including the ESA Swarm spacecraft, Poker Flat Research Range, and other instrumentation. These data products will enable studies on how the auroral environment influences arc-scale auroral activity and coupling. The project will also design a research infrastructure to enable broader community access and use of the derived data products. Graduate and undergraduate students will be supported, gaining experience in working with diverse, multi-faceted data for cross-scale, cross-region auroral studies.
